Antipodes Flora Probiotic Skin-Rescue Hyaluronic Mask — A Microbiome-Balancing Ritual for Sensitive, Stressed Skin
Sensitive and stressed skin is often a microbiome in crisis — Flora is formulated to restore that balance. A creamy, enveloping mask that settles onto skin like a second layer of calm, it deploys clinically validated probiotic technology alongside plant-derived hyaluronic acid to visibly reduce redness and replenish moisture in a single 15-minute ritual. The result is skin that feels quieted, clarified, and resilient — a complexion that looks as composed as it feels.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kalibiome Sensitive Probiotic | Lactobacillus Ferment / Postbiotic Lysate (Kalibiome 600) | High | Microbiome Modulator | Rebalances skin’s microflora; clinically shown to reduce redness, decrease transepidermal water loss, and inhibit blemish-causing bacteria |
| Plant Hyaluronic Acid | Sodium Hyaluronate (plant-derived) | High | Humectant | Binds moisture to the skin’s surface and deeper layers for sustained, enduring hydration |
| Harakeke Flax Gel | Linum Usitatissimum (Flax) Seed Extract / Phormium Tenax Leaf Extract | Mid | Soothing / Film-former | Derived from New Zealand flax; forms a calming, protective matrix on skin to reduce irritation and support skin comfort |
Flora’s lead active, Kalibiome Sensitive — a postbiotic/probiotic complex clinically demonstrated to revitalise the extracellular matrix — works by reintroducing beneficial bacterial signals to the skin’s surface, rebalancing disrupted microflora that underlies chronic redness, sensitivity, and blemish formation. Plant-derived sodium hyaluronate draws water into the stratum corneum and reduces transepidermal water loss, reinforcing the skin barrier from within. New Zealand harakeke flax gel complements this action by depositing a soothing, film-forming layer that minimises environmental triggers and physically calms reactive nerve endings at the skin surface. Together, the three actives address the inflammatory, hydration, and barrier dimensions of sensitive skin simultaneously.
